Trent Bridge will stage five matches in the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup and Investec Test Matches against South Africa and India in 2017 and 2018 respectively after being awarded a prestigious package of matches by the ECB.

The Notts venue will also host Royal London One-Day Internationals against the West Indies (2017), Australia (2018) and India (2018) while NatWest T20 Blast Finals Day will return in 2019.

“We are delighted to have secured a significant volume of quality international cricket which will enable us to continue to deliver our strategy of sustained investment in our venue, our professional team and our community programmes,” said Notts chief executive Lisa Pursehouse.

”We last hosted an ICC Tournament in 2009 and it was such a fantastic experience for the whole County that we desperately wanted to do it again.”

“Our presentation to the ECB focused on our track record of selling tickets, our policy of continual investment in our venue and the impact of our community schemes.”
